Equinoxe TV proprietor hits back at Atanga Nji.
Equinoxe TV proprietor hits back at Atanga Nji.
Minister Paul Atanga Nji stirred a hornet’s nest when he cited Equinoxe Television among others as media organs involved in lop-sided reporting of the Anglophone crisis.
The statement was enough to provoke the reaction of the reserved proprietor of Equinoxe Television Severin Tchounkeu.
During a press conference in Yaounde on Monday, March 9, Paul Atanga Nji warned the media to “stop being vectors of malicious reports from teleguided NGOs against our defence and security forces.”
“Equinoxe TV, STV, Radio Balafon and Le Jour newspaper should take special note,” Atanga Nji warned.
The accusation was enough to elicit a riposte from the proprietor of Equinoxe Television in a rare TV appearance on the channel’s prime time news.
He pulled no punches in addressing the Minister of Territorial Administration, insisting he is not the supersisory authority of media organs in Cameroon.
Read on for part of his reply….
“We decided not to broadcast a large part of the elements brought back from Ngarbuh. I am ashamed of what is going on in this country and I come here to express my dissatisfaction.
I think the MINAT boss should go to the regulator to find out who are the people who can be compared to a TV Milles Collines.
The MINAT is neither our supervisory authority, nor our regulatory body… “
He expressed regret that Minister Atanga Nji was trying to associate him with the MRC “because I come from the same region as its leader”.
Tchounkeu accused the MINAT boss for being inconsistent by soliciting Equinox for coverage of his activities all the timebut turning around to accuse it of acting against the interests of the republic.
He told the territorial administration boss that “citing a report (by an NGO) does not mean sharing what is contained in that report.”
Tchouukeu questioned the patriotism of the MINAT boss, stating that “Just because you’re a minister doesn’t mean you are more patriotic than everyone else.”
“Those who throw fuel on the fire are not necessarily those who are pointed at”, he added.
The Equinox boss expressed the determination of his media house to continue reporting on everything that is happening,
“We will never fail”, he concluded.
